...difficult to think of My Fair Lady as a revival, since its words and songs are still in our memories. To see it again is to embrace a much loved relative who has inexcusably spent 20 years abroad. Nothing has diminished; this musical is one of the quintessential glo ries of the American theater...
...clubhouse, he was greeted by growls from his players: "Christ, Charlie's back again." If Finley heard, he gave no sign; he was too busy handing out samples of his latest innovation for the national pastime?Day-Glo orange baseballs.

As far as the Japanese penetration of Europe is concerned, I would like to point out that it is the excessive scale on which Japanese imports are increasing that constitutes a threat to employment. The Benelux governments are advocates of greater freedom for imports of European products into Japan itself." Folke Lindskog, chairman of Svenska Kullagerfabriken (S.K.F.), emphasized that "the Japanese protect their home market. They are reluctant to allow us to establish ourselves as manufacturers in Japan, although they are free...
